Working on a Quilt Top. 7.29.22

 Here is the star quilt in shades of grey and blue.  I arranged the pieces to see how it would look.  There will be many changes in how things are arranged.

 Some of the star blocks will be moved around.  Also, I think I'll  change the light blue  diamond on the lower left block to something different.  

I actually have mixed feelings about this one, and it's not even done.  I like the design a lot.  But I think I should have used richer colors.  Maybe I'll do it over with something deeper.  

But, first it needs to be completed.

Four O'clocks (8 am) . 7.28.22

 The four o'clocks really came into their own.  But despite their name, are blooming g at 8am.

Kitchen Garden. 7.28.28

 Kitchen garden is looking pretty good.  The peppers are just beginning to produce.  The tomatoes need a little more time.  The beans are growing nicely.  Squashes are setting some nice squashes for winter and summer types.  The Orchard Baby sweetcorn is a dwarf type, and is a little taller than Rufus.   The sauce tomatoes seem less  vigorous than last year, bit I don't need that many.

Rudbeckias, Coreopsis, Echinacea, Gallardia. 6.28.22

 All of the Rudbeckias that I started early, during the winter, are blooming furiously.

The Coreopsis just started blooming.

The new echinaceas are not blooming yet.  One from the past couple of years just started blooming.

All of the Gallardias are blooming too.

Latest Beans Sprouting. 7.28.22

 These were the last beans I planted.  I had covered them with cardboard to keep the seeds moist in the 90s heat.  I planted them 5 days ago.

 Now I have them covered with fencing to frustrate birds.  If they survive,  I want to add a drip line.
